摘要
Geothermal resource is a precious mineral resource that is renewable, quality, environmentally protective and clean energy. Hefei is the capital of Anhui Province and has an ever increasing demand for clean geothermal energy to meet its economic development in a sustainable and rapid way. Based on relevant data, the Hefei area is situated at the Moho surface rise, and crustal thinning-led upper mantle lift is general regional geological setting for relative highness of earth temperature in the Hefei area. The Wushili Xiaomiao Convex in west of Hefei City is favorable to geothermal formation under the genetic model of basement uplift-caused thermal accumulation and can be the first target for geological exploration of geothermal resource in the area in the future. The tectonics and deep-seated crustal structure in the area meet the thermal formation conditions, showing great geothermal resource potential.
